Linn-Benton Community Collge

If you can figure out when they are open, check out the culinary school at the community college for an incredibly inexpensive lunch that tastes pretty good in a nice environment.
I have a friend who works here (on staff — teacher) and is part of the reason I land in Albany and I have enjoyed many a lunch here and it is super fun. Their set up and service is old school, linens, formality, but they are training chefs all about both front and the back of the house food and service which is such a good thing because so many chefs are socially idiotic and shouldn’t get near the front of the house much less own their own place.
The food is pretty and solid, featuring whatever the latest culinary trends are (deviled eggs anyone?) and of course there is no wine (thus the four star review :).
If in the area and want to go out to lunch check out the college café!

I attended a motorcycle endorsement course at the LBCC campus, and I was impressed with the facilities and design.
It is easy to notice that it is a lovely community college. The newer buildings have a modern style, while the older ones are rustic; both blend well together to form a great learning atmosphere.
A courtyard is centrally located at the heart of the LBCC campus that really adds to its appeal and enhances its beauty.
Another nice and useful feature for students is the bus stop located in the south parking lot. It sets a stone’s throw from many of the main halls and grants easy access for commuters.
